Fun application. Turns my car into an airplane, and makes my kids feel like a copilot. I had to look up the instructions for a moment first, but got it quickly. Has a great entertainment value, is educational and fun. Worth the money.

iHUD is an app that turns the iPhone and iPad into an educational aerospace-inspired mobile Glass Cockpit. iHUD derives its name from Head-Up Display, which depicts motion and guidance information, and data for optimal situational awareness. Imagine this information is provided by iHUD, made possible by the iPhone’s on-board accelerometer and GPS sensor.
iHUD depicts an extraordinary graphic interface with a simulated moving horizon based on the vehicles acceleration, dynamic moving speed, altitude and vertical velocity ribbons, rotating compass card, slip/skid ball, and separate accelerometer (G-meter).
iHUD is designed to be an iPhone/iPAD app for education, entertainment, and recreation.
Features:
• Augmented Reality with camera combined with iHUDs spatial motion visualization.
• Toggle between GPS and Magnetic compass for stationary and dynamic heading.
• iHUD projection mode to windshield.
• Accelerometer control slider for attitude.
• Excellent ‘Glass Cockpit’ colored graphics featuring a navigational multifunction display (MFD.
• Highly accurate and sensitive motion visualization using on-board GPS and accelerometer data.
• Displays graphically: heading, speed, un-accelerated attitude, altitude, vertical speed, slip/skid.
• Displays digitally: heading, speed, altitude, vertical speed, G-load.
• GPS accuracy indicator lights and ± value ranges.
• Weak or no GPS signal generates red colored cross-out of affected visualized data.
• User settings for metric and US standard units.
• User settings for speed ribbon range (multi-color ribbon).
• User setting for compass bug (heading bug) digitally or by moving the heading bug on-screen.
• Sophisticated accelerometer offset calibration
Limitations:
In the current version of iHUD, the horizon is not a reference horizon suitable for aircraft use, it acts like a pictorial inclinometer. An external gyro or future on-board gyro would address this situation.
No GPS data and camera on iPod touch. Magnetic compass only on iPhone 3GS and up. iOS 4.2 required. Tested up to iOS 7.x. Note that the iPAD 3G only features a GPS.
Warning:
Never use the iHUD for steering airplanes, helicopters, boats, motorcycles, and other powered vehicles, including UFOs.

Turns my car into an airplane
Love it
Cant wait to try this in flight, as a backup, of course :). Looks very well done!
GPS not working well
the bank and pitch thing is cool and fun... But it showed GPS locked light, and +/- 73 ft etc... but EVERY TIME I used it Altitude VARRIED by HUNDREDS of feet... Im at 480 MSL, and it said as low as 200, and then restart and said over 1200.... Not even close... cool concept, poor implimentation, for $5.99 the altitude should at least work
Junk
Not worth 99 cents much less 5 dollars. Developer must fix altitude, speed, pitch error and slip ball. Completely disingenuous of them to charge for this app. Dont waste your money until some serious updates take place.
DOESNT Work in the plane! Works fine in the car.
I thought it would be a great emergency back-up in the plane, but its NOT. In coordinated flight it always depicts straight and level, whether your in a steep turn, climb or decent. Further, the display was very jittery from the engine vibration and different RPM settings didnt remedy this problem. Additionally, as soon as you lose cell reception, the airspeed, alt and compass displays go inop. It works fine in the car, and its a neat novelty but DONT try to fly with it. As long as you understand that, you wont be dissapointed.
Very Very Cool
Fantastic! I’m teaching our 12 year old to fly. Great educational tool. We use it during flight and for post-flight and preflight discussions. The iHUD offers great visuals for a glass cockpit tutoring and enhanced situational awareness. We are aware of the published limitations. Fun in the car too, highly recommended!!
My personal PFD
Wonderful app! Great graphics, looks like the PFD in my airplane. I have not used it in flight but I have in the Sim and the car, works great! My wife who is a Private Pilot loves to play with it!
